AK Sajan: The Master Screenwriter behind Malayalam Blockbusters

AK Sajan is a renowned screenwriter in the Malayalam film industry, known for delivering exceptional scripts that have captivated audiences. His notable works include Dhruvam, Kashmir, Red Chillies, and Chintamani Kolakes. These films have left a lasting impression on the minds of Malayalees, with even the names of the characters he created deeply ingrained in their memories.

One such example is Narasimha Mannadiyar, Chintamani, Adv. Whenever discussions arise about Mammootty and Suresh Gopi films, it inevitably leads to conversations about the infamous Chintamani and Dhruvam murder cases, masterfully depicted in Sajan’s scripts.

The Everlasting Appeal of AK Sajan’s Films

Every movie born from AK Sajan’s screenplays has stood the test of time, with their timeless appeal bringing viewers back for repeat viewings. When Sajan both penned and directed his scripts, one actor often took center stage – Suresh Gopi. It comes as no surprise that the majority of these films were immensely successful.

In a recent interview with Khan Channel Media, AK Sajan delved into his working relationship with Suresh Gopi and their latest collaborative effort, Lanka. This film, considered a new experiment in Malayalam cinema, showcases the remarkable chemistry between the two.

Lanka: A Film Filled with Challenges and Personal Favorites

Reflecting on his friendship with Suresh Gopi, AK Sajan expressed his admiration for the actor’s easy communication style. He shared, “Lanka is my favorite film. Although the project encountered certain limitations, it was originally planned to be shot in Sri Lanka.”

However, due to unforeseen circumstances and visa issues, filming in Sri Lanka became impossible. AK Sajan and his team were left with no choice but to relocate the shoot to Kasargod. Despite the challenges, they managed to capture the essence of the story using stock footage and creating a cohesive narrative.

AK Sajan candidly admitted, “Truth be told, the film should not have been made under those circumstances. The enthusiastic vision behind the script fueled both Suresh Gopi and me. If only the delays could have been avoided, we would have successfully shot the movie in Sri Lanka itself. Nonetheless, Lanka remains an absolute favorite of mine.”

Building Bridges between Cinema and Audiences

AK Sajan showcased his artistic bravery by incorporating unconventional scenes into Lanka, pushing the boundaries of Malayalam cinema. After discussing the film in detail, Sajan returned to the subject of his friendship with Suresh Gopi, noting that communication with the actor was remarkably easy.

He emphasized, “Unlike other heroes, such as Mammooka, Suresh has an innate ability to grasp the essence of a story effortlessly. Whether over a cup of coffee or on set, his natural understanding of the narrative shines through. Suresh Gopi is not just a colleague; he is a dear friend.”

Pulimada: AK Sajan’s Latest Theatrical Triumph

Apart from his past accomplishments, AK Sajan continues to make his mark in the industry with his latest film, Pulimada. Starring the talented Joju George in the lead role and Aishwarya Rajesh as the female lead, Pulimada has been hailed as another stunning performance from Joju. Audiences eagerly anticipate its release, eager to witness Sajan’s genius at work once more.

AK Sajan is a screenwriter who has delivered Malayalam films like Dhruvam, Kashmir, Red Chillies and Chintamani Kolakes. Even the names of the characters in the films scripted by him are deeply imprinted in the minds of Malayalees.

An example is Narasimha Mannadiyar, Chintamani, Adv. Whenever characters like Lalkrishna Viratiyar and OMR talk about Mammootty and Suresh Gopi films, Malayalees tend to discuss the Chintamani and Dhruvam murder case.

‘After we went to Lanka and looked at the location, there was an explosion and we couldn’t go there because the visa was broken. So later that film was shot in Kasargod. Can’t go out. Most of the scenes had to be shot inside a house. The film was shot with a lot of stock footage.’

‘To tell the truth then that film should not have been made. The story was done with enthusiasm. Suresh also demanded grimly. Had it been delayed, it could have been shot in Sri Lanka itself. We couldn’t get that movie to its full potential. But Lanka is my favorite film,” says AK Sajan.

At that time, AK Sajan even used some scenes that were not at all familiar to Malayalam cinema in Lankan cinema. After talking about Lanka, AK Sajan spoke about his friendship with Suresh Gopi. ‘It is easy to communicate with Suresh Gopi.’

‘Communication is easy with heroes including Mammooka and not Suresh. Even if you tell Suresh a story while drinking coffee, Pulli will quickly understand. Naturally always meets with free and sure. He is my good friend.’
